China Entertainment 2000

After bidding farewell to his mentor, Utada Hikaru, who was relieved after getting the accurate answer, returned to the recording studio. He looked at the various newspapers on the table and fell into deep thought.

Thanks to the strong performance of "The Lazy Song" in Japan, the crown on Zhou Yi's forehead called "Star Within Star Within Star" has gradually been recognized by Japanese music fans, along with Zhou Yi's two Chinese albums Sales volume has passively increased a lot.

It doesn’t matter if fans don’t understand Chinese. They can learn it. It’s still a foreign language after all.

In the past, there were a lot of women in South Korea who studied Chinese and went to Hong Kong to get married to Li Ming. What's more, even if they didn't get married, they could still be translators.

For Japan, where visual kei bands already exist, the gorilla dance in the MV of Zhouyi's "The Lazy Song" has something to do with visual kei -

Not only does it look extremely fun visually, but the simple and clear rhythm of the song is also fucking magical.

In 2001, when various visual abstract MVs were popular, Zhou Yi was truly unique in playing this kind of "visual art".

Yui Aragaki, who originally didn't like this kind of song, now likes this song after going back and forth between Tokyo and Okinawa for work and study.

Not just because of my sister.

Because she really wanted to be like what was sung in this song, to be lazy when she had nothing to do, and spend the day happily and relaxed, but unfortunately she couldn't do it.

Since becoming a model, the busy work and heavy studies have almost made her breathless, which made Yui Aragaki personally understand the meaning of the song "The lazy song".

After finishing the filming, Yui Aragaki put on her headphones and returned to Okinawa resignedly. However, she unexpectedly noticed that the Americans here were much more active than before.

Next month will be Christmas at the end of the year. For the US military stationed in Japan as far away as Okinawa, there is a group of people who are ready to return to the United States after their stationing period.

"Hey, John, I asked you to bring back some specialties from here. Why do you still buy CDs?"

"You don't understand. The song Spike is not available in the United States yet. Many of my friends asked me to buy some after hearing me sing the song."

"..."

When Yui Aragaki passed by a street video store on her way home, the two soldiers who were in a good mood because they could go home chatted happily with each other, and from time to time they criticized their poor friends who couldn't eat fine chaff. Pig friend, passed her by.

"What a beautiful song, I don't even like it."

"I bet they will fall in love with this singer named Spike after they see the MV."

"..."

When I got home, my sister, who had already become one of the members of the Zhouyi Okinawa Fans Club, had even become a "management". She was wearing a white bandage on her forehead and was telling her companions about the terror of the enemy with her hands and feet in an eloquent voice - —

"Although Utada Hikaru's single sales are hundreds of thousands ahead of Zhouyi SAMA, it doesn't matter!

"Thanks to my efforts, my sister Yui has now become a fan of Zhouyi SAMA. This means that in the next month and a half, we will still have ample opportunities to benefit others..."

Feeling that she might have come back at the wrong time, Yui Aragaki was just about to run away when she was immediately grabbed back by her sister who was watching all directions and listening to all directions——

"You came back just in time. Tell them about your experience."

"..."

A war between fan circles started quietly and silently.

Japan Warner, who has long understood the tricks of the rice circle, kept busy, saying "Zhou Yi SAMA" on the left and "Zhou Yi SAMA" on the right to coax the group of female fans to rush forward.

There are some big money-spending fans with strange brains who have even devised a trick to win over Ayumi Hamasaki fans.

As we all know, a huge Hikaru battle broke out in the Japanese music scene in March this year. The final result was that Hamasaki Ayumi was defeated and lost to Utada Hikaru in terms of sales.

Many fans of Ayumi Hamasaki are quite unconvinced.

Even if nothing unexpected happens, Uda Tamitsu will continuously win the double crown of annual album sales champion and annual single sales champion.

"For all you unhappy Ayumi Hamasaki fans, you don't want to see Hikaru Utada crowned this year's double champion, right?"

Because she was positioned as a model by the magazine, Aragaki Yui, who was a rising star in both Okinawa and Tokyo, now became the most relied-upon general of her pink-headed sister in the family——

Initially positioned as a hot girl style by the company, her speech was extremely contagious and provocative: "Now, Zhouyi SAMA's single is the only one that has the hope of breaking Utada Hikari's monopoly. Don't you want to see Utada Hikaru's last Do you look like you’re sad to lose the championship?”

……………………

"Together we are going to knock Zhou Yi off that damn throne!"

In the Mainland, in the fan chat rooms related to the new generation of singers such as Jay Chou and Wang Leehom, fans who have been dominated by Zhou Yi on the music chart for more than a month or two have expressed their opinions and reached a consensus.

From the official release of "Jiangnan" to now, Zhou Yi has topped the mainland music charts for 20 consecutive weeks.

20 weeks, what a concept. One month and four weeks, a full five months!

Not to mention that Zhouyi currently seems to be interested in winning the 21st consecutive week.

Not even the damn thousand-year-old tortoise is so trustworthy! This is not purely based on sales volume. How can there be so many people who haven’t heard of Jiangnan Tiantiandian?

Whether it's Jay Chou's "Nunchaku" or Wang Leehom's "Only", the two have taken turns taking turns since they released their songs in September, and they have never beaten Zhou Yi's "Jiangnan" even once.

Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, with Zhou Yi's "Jiangnan" no longer able to maintain the trend of returning to the first place in the music charts of Hong Kong and Taiwan, Zhou Yi, the only one who is still in the mainland, has suddenly attracted a lot of new people. Fans watch and join.

Fans who have reached consensus with Jay Chou and Leehom Wang are not very demanding. They can just make "Nunchaku" and "The One" number one.

Although these two songs are no longer number one in Taiwan, they at least took turns to be number one.

Then, as expected, there was no argument at all.

Thursday, November 15th, Winter Clothes Day.

Seeing that Sunday is getting closer and closer, "Gangnam", which has dominated music charts and other charts, can already see a clear decline in daily statistics.

But it is obvious that even if the data of "Jiangnan" continues to decline because it lasts too long, Zhou Yi can still hold the top spot due to the large number of people in the mainland.

November 19th, a new week starts, Monday.

When Zhou Yi's charity act was truly spread from person to person, the young and new fans of King Zhou were defeated again and again in Maicheng, feeling disheartened.

After preparing for so long, I still can't beat the rankings. How can I do this? !

Why don't Jay Chou and Lee Hom donate to charity if you two hope to end his consecutive championships?

Just when fans from both sides were ready to give up, fans of other singers who knew how to join forces formed a group to cause trouble——

The last charge of Zhou Wang fans last week gave these Zhou Yi's "defeated generals" a glimmer of hope that they could end Zhou Yi's consecutive championships, so this week they came one after another to smell the smell——

From Rene Liu fans to Zhou Huajian fans, people who are not too concerned about watching the excitement directly put their chips on "Nunchaku" or "The Only".

"Go, go, go! Pull Zhou Yi off that damn throne!"

Fans of the old kings and queens, who are well versed in the art of combining verticality and horizontality, left the game one after another, rushing towards Zhou Yi who could not stop his decline: "Where is Xie Tingfeng? Where are Xie Tingfeng's fans? Are you not going to leave?"

"..."

It's almost 2002 now. It would be rude for you, Zhou Yi, to win the championship again!

Do you really want to win the championship for six months in a row? ! That’s half a year!

People who have time to surf the Internet intensively these days have relatively enough time and some spare money. After combining this, the data of the two songs "Nunchaku" and "Only" suddenly started to skyrocket. The trend of rapid advancement.

Warner, who noticed this situation for the first time, thought it was Sony who finally couldn't help but start shooting, but after learning the actual situation, everyone couldn't laugh or cry.

"If you win too many consecutive championships, you will be outraged."

Stefanie Sun, who returned to Warner Bros. in the Mainland by plane, joked to Zhou Yi with a playful smile: "You have already set a record for consecutive championships in the Mainland. It's time to give up your position."

How can any normal person have a song stay at the top of the charts for five consecutive months?

No matter how high the quality of your "Jiangnan" is, after five months of "torture", all the data have basically reached the top, and there is no way to go higher.

"No, if I die, I have to die in your hands."

Zhou Yi, who was chewing a sugar tangerine, glanced sideways at her: "What do you do for food? Work hard and surpass me? Didn't the new album just come out?"

"Damn, there are monsters ahead of me. I only released my new album on October 22nd. It will take time to catch up, okay?"

Stefanie Sun rolled her eyes at the man angrily: "I haven't done much promotion of "Windswept Summer" in the Mainland and it has reached the third place. Now I'm here, and I should be able to bite the bullet soon.

""Your Smile" has also reached the fifth place, and the song "Remember" has also reached the top ten in mainland China."

An album has three songs in the top ten. Regardless of whether it is a short-term glory, at least the results are good enough.

A person with such achievements in the music world is sitting next to her eating sugar oranges.

Don't tell me, it's sour and sweet, but quite delicious.

"Hold on tight. I, "Gangnam", will probably survive this week at most. Compared to Jay Chou, Wang Leehom and Hsieh Ting-feng, I still like to be fucked by you."

"Tsk, tsk, then raise your butt first, and I'll try the feel."

"You are a gangster, right? Be careful, I will sue you for molesting a good family woman."

Zhou Yi, who said this but had a "come if you dare" attitude on his face, had not even barked twice when an extremely unfamiliar phone call came in——

"Hello?"

"Hello? Hello, is this Mr. Zhou Yizhou? My name is Feng Gong."

On the other end of the phone, the voice of a future Spring Festival Gala regular came out.
